We are an international charity working to beat leprosy.

Story

A while ago I read about a charity that makes wigs for children who have cancer using donated hair.  I've been growing my hair for a year. Soon I will cut off 10 to 12 inches of my hair and donate it so that it can be used to help children with cancer.

My school is Godstowe in High Wycombe. My school charity is Lepra, a charity which helps people with leprosy in poor parts of the world.

Please would you sponsor me to cut my hair.  That way I will help two charities.  My hair will help make a wig, and the money raised will help people with Leprosy.
